Those who know me know that I love to travel and meeting new cultures. They always ask me how I can see so many places in the world without spending a lot of money, so today I decided to share my 5 tips on how to find cheap flights. Which by the way I use to visit all Caribbean.

A week ago I was in Cancun, where I flew with a new Colombian airline Wingo, which because of its opening week, had bargain prices that you can not imagine! But going back to the topic here come my tips.

5 Tips on how to find cheap flights:

1. Be flexible.

- If you want to find good prices, first look for the flights then decide the dates. Take advantage of low seasons, avoid holidays and weekends. Always look at the flight prices a few days before and after your deadlines.

- Remember that there may be flights at night or early in the morning that allow you to get to work with enough time, but are much cheaper. The flights during week normally have much better prices.

- For medium and short flights, the best prices are usually obtained by booking flights between 8 and 6 weeks before travel. For long-haul flights the best prices are booked between 6 and 4 months before.

- According to several studies the best time of the week to make a plane reservation is Tuesday at 3pm.

2. Search for low cost airlines

Most low-cost carriers offer the same services as traditional carriers without increasing the price of their tickets. Normally they are much more cheaper because they save money thanks to their modern facilities, like for example one of new aerial lines in Colombia, Wingo which has a very thin seats, thanks to which airplane weighs less and burns less gasoline, at the end it means we can pay less.

The details change a lot.

3. Luggage.

If you fly in low cost airlines take advantage of their good prices traveling only with the handbag you can save up to 70% of price compared to traditional lines. In the event that you have to check the suitcase, weigh the luggage in advance and then do not take a surprise with havingoverweight. And remember, if you get overweight no one forbids you to wear two jackets and several collars over you.

4. Follow the social networks of your preferred airlines, to stay inform of possible offers and discounts. You should be especially vigilant on sales dates like Black Friday or Ciber Monday. In Wingo you could get flights to 70,000 !!! (link)
